Your questions about new build mastic in Buriton
Do you work for landlords with property near Petersfield station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Buriton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it normal for sealant to crack in a new home?
Cracking in the first couple of years is common. Poor preparation at handover adds to it.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the number of plots, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
New build mastic in Buriton
We carry out plot mastic and second-fix sealing for builders, and snagging reseals for new-home owners. In both, preparation makes the difference, because that’s what rushed new-build sealant normally lacks. We work on bathrooms & en suites, show homes and skirting & floors, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking shower tray seals in a new home and plot mastic for developers ahead of handover.
Around Buriton, older homes often have timber floors that move through the year, which is why skirting and threshold joints need a flexible sealant, not filler.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in Buriton
Baths and trays settle under load once the home is lived in. If a bath wasn’t filled when it was sealed, the bead is stretched the first time it’s used and can tear.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Skirting joints opening in the first winter
- Leaking shower tray seals in a new home
- Sealant applied over dusty or wet surfaces
- Cracks appearing as a new home settles
For new homes near Petersfield station, it’s worth checking the sealant early, while snags are still fresh.
Before booking anyone
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens
As a new house dries, worktops and walls shift a little, opening gaps behind the upstand. We reseal them with a flexible sealant.
Show homes
Show homes need sealant that looks right from day one. We lay neat, even beads in colours to suit the finishes.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for most snagging lists, longer for a run of plots. Somewhere like Buriton needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked for movement before work begins.
- Old sealant is cut out and the joints cleaned.
- Joints are dried and primed where the product calls for it.
- New sealant goes in, with baths filled first so they’re at their heaviest.
- We check every joint and leave you with the cure times.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What affects the quote in Buriton
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Movement caused by a poorly fitted tray or bath
- Broken tiles or a split tray
- Your warranty claim itself, which is between you and the builder
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Check bath and shower seals every few months as the house settles
- Follow the cure time we give you
- Raise failed sealant with the developer while you are covered
- Photograph failed sealant before it’s redone
Ventilation matters in a new home, which is still drying out. Use the extractor fan or open a window after showers so moisture does not sit on the sealant.
Leave a failed new-build seal and water can reach the floor and the ceiling below. Catching it early keeps the fix to the sealant.
